I believe therapy can be a catalyst for new beginnings, a safe place to explore fears, loss, trauma, stress and anything holding you back from reaching your full potential. As your therapist I want to provide a safe place for you to learn about yourself, develop new insights, and heal from past hurts and trauma. I enjoy working with clients 16 years old and beyond. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing life transitions, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I am an LGBTQ+ ally. I am an independently licensed clinical social worker (LISW) and licensed substance abuse counselor (CADC).
I have additional training in eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and utilize trauma-informed approaches in my therapy practice. I treat each client individually and utilize approaches and styles that fit with your personality and goals. All care should be client centered and client led.
Reaching out to a therapist can be scary! You may be worried you are the only one experiencing this or that therapy may not even help. We as therapists are like shoes. There are different fits and styles and if you feel I could be a good fit, I offer brief consultation calls so we can discuss your goals and if working together would be a good fit for you.
